Elie Munk

"The modern world, more than in any preceding epoch, feels the necessity to learn anew how to pray."

"The community does not suffer deficiencies. What is lacking in one individual is made up by the other."

"In the midst of the titanic struggles of ideologies that dominate our age, it is from our prayers that we derive the firmest support for mind and soul."

"There are three kinds of forces: the forces of nature, the spiritual and moral ones, and finally those of history and destiny."

"It is only in the period between adolescence and maturity and not during the earlier stages of development that any organism can unfold its full strength."

"A ladder is the instrument of ascent; it symbolises intensity rising to a climax. this, too, is the meaning of prayer."
